ALBERT D. FULLER, OF OHIOOPEE, ASSIGNOR TO 'THE DUTOHER TEMPLE COMPANY,OF HOPEDALE, MASSACHUSETTS.

IMPROVEMENT IN LoomTEMPL'Es.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 159,255, dated February2, 1875,' application tiled December 19, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. FULLER, of Chicopee, ofthe county ofHampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Temples for Looms; and do hereby declare the same to befully described in the following specification and represented in theaccompan yin g drawings, of which- Figure l is a top view, and Fig. 2 aninner side elevation, of one my improved temples. Fig. 3 is a transversesection, taken longitudinally through the axis of the toothed roller.Fig. 4 is a side View, and Fig. 5 a front end View, and Fig. 6 a bottomview, of the cap or cover of the roller and its trough.

My invention is an improvement in the wellknown Dutcher temple, andconsists in the trough-cap, provided with a duplex or shuttledelectingand cloth-guiding nose, or with an inclined short guide, all ashereinafter explained and as shown in the drawings, in which- A denotesthe trough, B the rotary toothed roller or cylinder, G the pivot-pin ofthe roller, and D the cap or cover of the said. roller and trough. E isthe trough support-shank, and F its case.

In carrying out my invention, as shown in the drawings, I make that endof the cap D which is next adjacent to the open or cloth receiving endof the trough A with a sectoral inclined surface or conoidalinclination, a, extending from the upper rounded surface of the capdownward, in manner as shown, to a point or apex, b, and in conjunctionwith the inclination a I form the nose with an inclination orcloth-guide surface, c, extendingdownward and inward from the apex andlateral edges of the inclination a, in manner as shown. The inclined andarched surface c is to guide the edge of the cloth into thetemple-trough, while the cloth may be in the act of being introducedtherein, the conoidal inclination a being to sheer oli' the nose of ashuttle, when thrown violently against the end of the cap. Itoccasionally happens that a shuttle, While in ight, becomes deflectedout of its true course and ejected against the end of the cap of thetemple-trough, in which case the cap is liable to be defaced or broken.With my improvement the liability of such danger is greatly lessened, ifnot entirely overcome. The cloth is very much more readily introducedinto the trough by means of the arched guide c than without such.

I claim- 1. In the loom-temple the trough-cap D, provided with theshuttle-deliector a and the cloth-guide c, arranged therein and withrespect to each other, substantially as specified and represented.

2. The trough-cap, provided with the shuttledeflector a, arranged asshownl and described.

ALBERT D. FULLER.
